The manga is like the behind-the-scenes for the anime - they're ALL a lot goofier and more human. Animes have to compress a lot. Still you have Maki's cooldown hug and tearful declaration for Nico, and what Hanayo did for Rin is extremely heartwarming. The Rin episode is the most heartwarming, on balance, in the whole series for me, including Aqours.
